Only problem is that there aren't any rear ferodo's in the country at the moment according to the importer.

I rang circuit supplies at the beginning of last week who are the main importer (i think) and they said they had plenty of fronts but no rears. Rears are due front end of this week so hopefully they'll be here before the weekend.
I've got a spare part worn set of oem pads, but i really don't want to be using those. They've only got 200 miles of use in them so they'll not be bedded in and will probably just blow apart if i put them on during the day itself.

Last time I asked Jonny he said bookatrack use the full International circuit, so that includes the chicane and also the pif-paf chicane, this is the route shown in the vid so that's what we'll be doing next weekend, let's hope for a weekend that's a little drier.
Stainless steel hoses and uprated brake fluid just done today, so I'm ready to Rockingham an' Roll!

There was a rumour on one of the US forums that the oem brake lines were reinforced with steel in the rubber tube. I'm hoping someone will be willing to take a sharp blade to a brake line to see if this is true.

Toying with the idea of getting myself some new pads all round, as mine are a little low on the front, and it would be nice to have some spares to hand.
Where can I get some standard pads from for both front and rear?

Jamie,
Have you tried your Honda dealer?

I found the site. It was Brake Parts. They are a lot cheaper than my local dealers and I'll get them on Tuesday, so I have plenty of time to fit them

don't suppose you kept your old rubber brake hoses by any chance?
